When I take a one-way ticket to the road of no return, on a journey every man must make some day. When it's time to meet the Father and explains my sins away, I will tell him, yes I'll tell him I have lived. I have lived each single moment as a man of flesh and blood, with my soul and all my senses open wide. I have lived and tasted everything that called out to be tried and afraid of either heaven or of hell, never caring if I had a soul to sell. I was no more optimistic than my fellow man would be, I have always been an artist, not a saint. Now the moonlights are dimming, no more costumes, no more paint. I admit that I was selfish, I have lived. I have lived a life of running, after joy and happiness, with a new dream always tearing at my heart. Oh my Lord, I should have thought of my salvation at the start, but on Earth so many mornings I was told, you would take a sinner back into the fall. If my reasons seem too fragile and my words have no effect and forgiveness is the one thing I must win, I'll explain my live and show you all I am and all I've been and I'll say for my defence that I have lived. I have lived with soul on fire, with desire in my skin, in the name of all the women I have known. I have worshipped every shrine of love and if I must at all, I'll be ready then to kneel and pay the price, for the yesterdays I spent in Paradise. I have lived my life.
